Believe in Yourself!
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
The following letter is a powerful testament to the need for each of us to believe in our own worth, abilities, and dreams, regardless of what others may say. So often, we let go of our deepest desires to succeed in life because an authority figure told us to wake up, grow up, and to quit dreaming because "you'll never . . . . succeed in business, lose weight, find someone to truly love, finish school." The list could go on and on, but don't let it in your life. Today is the day to let go of people who do not support your growth, and to surround yourself with those who do. I really appreciate all of the visitors to this site who continually share your stories of success. Keep them coming — you are having an extremely positive impact on the thousands of people who read this column weekly.
Dear David,
I was listening to a radio program recently and a young college girl stated that she was striving to increase her self esteem; trying to increase her confidence in talking in front of folks; and overall seeking confidence in whether she could "make it" in college and "make it" in life.
I was told early on in my college career by a college counselor that I would fail college and not make it. That young girl needs to believe in herself.
NOW, I work for a wonderful company, Hewlett-Packard Company. I am a college graduate (the only one in my family), I am successful and very much love and enjoy my job. I believed in myself in college and I DID NOT believe that college counselor. As a matter of fact, little did she know, she posed a challenge to me that very day, as I know within me from that day that I would prove her wrong, as who was she to dictate my success or failure.
I had another challenge when I started working for Hewlett-Packard at an entry level position. My goal, my vision has always been to work for Hewlett-Packard, I took a substantial cut in pay when I took the entry level position at HP
My first day on the job, I was told by an HP colleague if I planned to move up in our HP office to forget it as there were no opportunities in our local office. Since it was my first day and to be polite, I didn't say a word. I do remember thinking just watch me, as I knew within me I'd move up. Within a year, I left my entry level position to everyone's surprise, as I was the newest HP member to join the local office with not a lot of HP experience per se. I now have a wonderful, enjoyable and challenging (thought provoking) position with HP. I have been blessed and I am very grateful to God and my spirit guides.
Set your goals, have your dreams and make them happen. Believe in yourself!
An HP Employee

Are You Looking Your Best Right Now?
Have you ever thought about the times you've been out to eat that bring back the best memories?
I was asking a friend the other day this very question, to which she replied “When I felt and looked my best, I took out this very classy and sexy dress that I hadn't worn in years … and it was a fabulous evening.” As we continued talking I also found out that while it was a memorable night, she hadn't dressed like that for dinner in over two years.
The question that pops into my head after a conversation like that is why do we wait for a special night, like a holiday party or charity event, to wear our best clothes? When we dress in our finest attire, we not only lift our own spirits but oftentimes those around us as well.
There are so many excellent restaurants in our area, serving the finest of dishes on a daily basis. One of our local chefs wouldn't think about holding back from using his most expensive cutlery while making your next meal, or his finest piece of fish just because it’s a Tuesday eve, so why do we hold back on wearing our best jewelry or expensive suit when we venture out for our next meal?
There was an Internet letter that reached me recently that made a lasting impact.
The sister of a young woman in her 30’s who had recently died of cancer was going through her dresser to pack or give away her clothes. To her astonishment, she found gorgeous, silk lingerie that had never been worn. As she went to her sister’s closet, she found multiple pairs of high fashion shoes, barely touched. And hanger upon hanger of beautiful clothes she had never seen her wear. After leaving her house, she made a pact with herself to begin enjoying all of her favorite and rarely worn outfits everyday.
Let’s start today to live with more passion and joy. Do this by choosing your finest jewelry and clothing to wear out to your favorite restaurant, just because you can! Regardless if it’s a Monday or Saturday night, start making all your evenings out a special event. Men who dress with this attitude will find a new sense of energy as well. Remember, as you look and feel better, those out around you will pick up on your fun and playful attitude and feel better as well.
Don't wait, live a more exciting life today.
Love, Peace,

Beauty Pageants: A Path to Confidence
One girl, who was coaxed into competing by her best friend, could barely look me in the eye as we tried to prepare her for a one question interview format. Within 3 hours, everything shifted! She had never received assistance in regards to personal communication skills, and once she trusted the process, she totally blossomed.
Another always walked with her shoulders slumped forward, even though she was a gifted musician, straight A student, and exceptional volleyball player. Her internal confidence was low, as she had tried to hide the fact that she was uncomfortable being taller than all of her friends.
Within several weeks, she had a transformation that astounded everyone, as she walked into the room with her shoulders back and head held high.
Many who compete in these events use them as stepping stones for careers in broadcasting, and also as a way to enhance their chances of getting into the college of their choice.
My role is an incredibly exciting one, as I watch them enthusiastically learn the secrets of public presentation skills, interviewing, posture, and the safest ways to create the lean and fit physique they've always wanted in a safe and sane way.
No extreme diets, no starvation methods, just time tested eating plans and exercise routines that radically can shift any ones body in 4-9 weeks.
Yes, beauty pageants can enhance all of the contestants levels of confidence, and it's exciting to see the amazing end results year after year.
Love, peace. David Essel www.talkdavid.com

Blocking Gossip..Enhancing Your Personal Power
"It was amazing how powerful I felt. Normally, if someone says "you're not going to believe what I heard about Jim...."....I'd be all ears! But I know that the work that I'm doing to enhance my confidence just got a huge boost this week, I feel just awesome about me!"
It seems that an acquaintance came to her wanting to give her the inside scoop about the last relationship her friend Jim was in...and what happened that ended his relationship...and the "juice" was heading towards Jim's role in the breakup. The stuff trash magazines are filled with, mainly half truths.
My client has been working diligently on walking away from people who are in love with gossip, or who call her to fill her in on the latest trash talk.
It has not been an easy road, as for 20 years her life was being a part of this talk. But, as she continues to rise above the mediocrity, she's finding a new life, one filled with a new energy, and also some different friends.
"Some people have just fallen away, those who want me to chime in, to listen to this crap, gossip talk. At first it hurt my feelings, but now I see the power in letting gossip go.I feel fantastic about me! "
Slow down.
Love, peace, David Essel www.talkdavid.com www.lifecoachuniverse.com
